About this award

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was awarded an $749,684 research grant on August 1, 2024, for a project titled "Solar Energetic Particle Dropouts Inside 1 AU" under contract 23-SOGI23_2-0018. This scientific research initiative, which will be performed at SwRI's San Antonio, Texas facility and is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2027, addresses heliophysics phenomena related to solar energetic particles in the inner solar system. The funding originates from a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center, and the award carries no set-aside designation, indicating SwRI competed in an unrestricted procurement process.

SwRI, a prominent nonprofit research and development organization with over 2,700 staff members, is well-positioned to execute this advanced scientific research. The institute has an extensive track record of NASA-funded grants supporting space science initiatives, including previous research in heliophysics, planetary exploration, and solar dynamics. This grant aligns with SwRI's core competencies in fundamental scientific research and represents the type of space science investigation that NASA's Science Mission Directorate typically supports to expand human understanding of solar physics and space weather phenomena.
